I had to read the headline a half dozen times before it made any sense.
The Washington Warrens.
Umm.. you know, like an animals burrow, or bear’s cave.
It never made sense to me. Had to read further to even figure the headline out.
The team got it’s name from the boston tea party. The team was originally in Boston. The tea party was an act of patriots who dressed up like what they called “redskins”. That was the official story... the redskins did it. The football team being in Boston was originally named the braves, then changed to the redskins. It made sense because of the history of the region. 4 years later the franchise was moved to Washington but kept the team name.

Currently the DC teams are called Nationals, Capitals and Wizards. Doubt they’ll use Bullets again. Maybe Senators could be used. Then again there was the old slogan Washington...first in war first in peace last in the American league.
Washington Washed-Ups
Grassley let says the Senate Republicans will probably overturn Trump’s veto on defense bill.
In other words they will stand with Elizabeth Warren to change the names of military bases
Senate Republicans.

I don’t remember the person the quote was attributed to, but the quote was talking the lines of, history is a different country; they did things differently.
People without a solid grounding in history do not understand that,which is a result of weak education efforts in our schools.
This article a a little goofy.
Most real American Indians like the Redskins name. It is white leftists that have an issue with it.
Also “Oklahoma” is from the Choctaw language, not Ottawa. Why throw in a random fact and get it wrong?
Call them the Washington Whiteskins. Nobody should complain Right? Now think about that for a minute!
Most Native Americans have no problrm with the name. White leftists and corporate aholes do.
A very uneven piece.
Teeters back and forth.
Give me a break. Every idiot out there is looking for a reason to be offended. I’m 100% Native American and the name redskins does not bother me one bit.
People not working and leaching off of the government, working taxpayers, bothers me a hell of a lot.
Get a damn job and be a productive worthwhile citizen and not a looting, arsonist, ANTIFA terrorist POS.
Washington Wimps
